Set the Alarm Clock to Activate Once

The following steps describe how to set the alarm clock to activate once. The wake–up mechanism performs the equivalent of a remote control power up command.

1. Retrieve the instance of AMT_AlarmClockService, where the “Name” key equals “Intel(r) AMT Alarm Clock Service”.

2. Set AMT_AlarmClockService.NextAMTAlarmTime to the first time when Intel AMT should turn on the host.

Note:

The value of the NextAMTAlarmTime Datetime format requires a “T” between the date and the time and must end with “Z”. Seconds must be set to zero. For example: "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:00Z". The time must be later than the current time or the Set operation will be rejected.

3. Set AMT_AlarmClockService.AMTAlarmClockInterval to NULL.

Note:

You must set the AMTAlarmClockInterval to NULL in case there was a previous value. An all-zero setting is invalid.

4. Set the values by sending AMT_AlarmClockService.Put.

# Create the XML format of the NextAMTAlarmClock property.

$nextAlarmTime =$wsmanConnectionObject.NewInstance("Datetime")

$nextAlarmTime.Text ="2013-11-07T16:28:00Z"

$alarmClockServiceRef =$wsmanConnectionObject.NewReference("SELECT * FROM AMT_AlarmClockService WHERE Name='Intel(r) AMT Alarm Clock Service'")

$alarmClockServiceInstance =$alarmClockServiceRef.Get()

$alarmClockServiceInstance.SetProperty("NextAMTAlarmTime",$nextAlarmTime)

$alarmClockServiceInstance.SetProperty("AMTAlarmClockInterval",$null)

$alarmClockServiceRef.Put($alarmClockServiceInstance)

Additional Information

The XML representation of the property NextAMTAlarmTime should be in Datetime format, as defined in the WS-CIM Mapping Specification (DSP0230). The following example is an XML representations of this format.
